1 O man of sorrows! mortal grief
Thou knowest well;
The bitter pangs that Thou didst bear,
What tongue can tell!

Chorus:
O love divine, I call Thee mine;
My heart to Thee I bring.
Supremely blest
In Thee I rest,
My Savior King.

2 Despised of men, Thou gavest all,
Their souls to save,
Did’st bow Thy kingly head to meet
The cross, the grave. [Chorus]

3 O loved of God, O blessed Son,
I call to Thee;
Thro’ shade and sun, thro’ life and death,
Be near to me. [Chorus]
